Li Jian smiled after hearing this.He raised his eyes, and couldn't help but look up at Fang Mingyue.The bright moon in this world does not seem to be different from what he saw in the modern world.

Li Jian thought of a lot at that moment.For example, he has a passionate expression, but his personality is indifferent, and he is unwilling to try, strive for, and possess.Because he tried to go after what he wanted, but he failed.

Li Jian is an orphan, but in fact he just lost his father.He also thought that his mother had passed away, until when he was ten years old, his mother suddenly appeared in the orphanage.

His mother cried and told him that she didn't abandon him on purpose.Li Jian's father passed away, and she couldn't afford to support Li Jian alone, so she had to remarry, but her remarried husband didn't allow her to bring the oil bottle.

At that time, Li Jian forgave his mother, and he even felt sorry for her.He grew up in an orphanage and knew the suffering of poverty, so he can understand the difficulty of his mother.He was taken home by his mother.He is very happy that he can finally have a home and finally be able to eat the meals his mother cooks.

He returned home, recognized his stepfather, but only spent three days with his mother and stepfather, the family life he longed for.Three days later, his mother took him to the hospital.Looking through the glass door of the critically ill ward, the boy on the hospital bed was about seven years old. Li Jian found that he looked a bit like herself.

At this time, the mother grabbed his hand again with tears: "This is your brother. He is sick. Leukemia. Maybe only you can save him."

—Oh, so that's why they took him home.

After returning home that day, Li Jian hid in the quilt and cried.The next day, he went to the hospital to have a blood test to see if he could save his brother.Later, the comparison results showed that he could be saved.So he endured severe pain and performed a bone marrow puncture, using his own hematopoietic stem cells to save the life of his half-brother.

When the younger brother came home from the hospital, his mother and stepfather held a huge welcome ceremony for him.Balloons, gifts, new computers, new mobile phones... In contrast, the hot meal that almost brought tears to Li Jian's eyes when he returned home was nothing at all.

Li Jian felt that they were the family, and she was superfluous after all.So, he returned to the orphanage.

If you desire too much for something you can't ask for, you are bound to be disappointed.After that, Li Jian thought she had the spirit of Ah Q, so she just learned to live with it and didn't care about anything.

Li Jian sighed slightly, and suddenly felt that the things in that world were very far away from her.He turned his head and looked at Qi Xiu beside him.His past is already like a dream, and the Qi Xiu in front of him seems to be real.

So, Li Jian said, "Why did I ever say I would abandon you? I'm not indifferent to fame and wealth, I'm just lazy, or I'm even afraid of failure. It doesn't matter at all, but if I continue to be lazy, my apprentice will die." I will be bullied, which I am not happy about."

"Master..." Qi Xiu finally raised the corners of his lips, and the stern look in his eyes completely dissipated.

Seeing this, Li Jian also smiled. "If you bully my apprentice, you are bullying me. So what if you are demonized? What if I am not cultivated? We will take back what is lost. I will go to heaven and earth, and I will accompany you to break through."

Li Jian indeed suddenly figured it out a little bit - yes, what is he afraid of?He's already died once.He has a chance to be reborn in this world, if he doesn't make a good use of it, it will be considered a waste of life.Regarding the word death, he has already experienced it once, so how could he be afraid?

The two masters and apprentices were having a happy conversation together, and a familiar air of supernatural power came suddenly.

Qi Xiu sacrificed the Chengying sword, and was about to defend it, but when he found out who was coming, he put down the sword in his hand.

Li Jian looked back and saw a romantic swordsman approaching - it was Du Rui.

"Brother!" Upon seeing Du Rui, Li Jianjian felt very safe and kind.Probably because he often saved himself, or because he was the first thing I saw when I came to this world.

But Du Rui didn't think so in his heart.He frowned, thinking deeply—why is the situation of the master and apprentice so strange every time he appears?

——Where did Li Jian's clothes go?Why is he disheveled again?Why is he wearing Qi Xiu's coat again?

Du Rui coughed lightly, stepped forward and said, "I've heard about Qi Xiu's murder. It stands to reason that this happened not long ago, so it shouldn't spread so fast. They must have planned it for a long time. Qi Xiu, this matter can be related to Is it related to your father?"

"I guess so. But I don't know why he has connection with the Demon Realm." Qi Xiu said, and made a bow to Du Rui, "Master, I'm sorry. Because of my business, you and the head are running around—— "

"It's okay." Du Rui waved his hand.

"Has everything in that sect been resolved? Are the cultivators from the other four major sects still stranded in Qingqiong?" Li Jian couldn't help asking with concern.

"The solution is also simple. Just kill Qing Qiong and refuse to admit it." Du Rui smiled, "They won't be able to see Qi Xiu anyway."

Li Jian couldn't help laughing - the style of the head and Du Rui solving the problem is also very strange.

"What's more, the people who came to Cangyu Temple are the Leng sisters. Their masters also accepted a demon. Therefore, Cangyu Temple can only stand on the same front with us. My Qingqiong and Cangyu Temple are from the cultivation sect. The main force is gone, and the other three sects have no right to speak."

Du Rui smiled, then became serious again, "Next, you two have nowhere to go, right? Why don't we go to Peach Blossom Valley."

"Peach Blossom Valley? Where is that?" Li Jian asked.

"That's also the boundary of the Zhou Kingdom. The head of the sect asked someone to investigate the events of the year, and it may be related to Emperor Xuande, or even your mother Qi Xiu." Du Rui said.

"How to say?" Qi Xiu stepped forward.

"Taohuaxi Valley used to be a very wealthy village. However, this village is surrounded by mountains and is quite isolated from the outside world. About 18 years ago, Taohuaxi Valley encountered a snowstorm, many people died, and the crops were frozen to death. The originally self-sufficient village ran out of food. The court of the state of Zhou attached great importance to this matter and decided to open the treasury to help the village, and even sent officers and soldiers to escort it. The villagers were very happy. They thought that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. No one cared about them. Who knew Emperor Xuande was willing to use the treasury to relieve them. They held a grand ceremony to welcome them. But guess what happened afterwards?"

Li Jian couldn't guess, but Qi Xiu stepped forward. "I've heard about this incident. The version I heard is...the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the officers and soldiers who delivered food failed to enter the Taohuaxi Valley. Therefore, the villagers in the valley...almost starved to death."

Du Rui nodded. "Yes. This is the version that is widely circulated in the outside world. However, in recent years, the head has noticed that demons have come to the world too frequently, so he specially investigated this matter, but found that there were traces of demons in Taohuaxi Valley 18 years ago. The head immediately Feeling something strange about Taohuaxigu, I sent a disciple to investigate. That disciple is Jinghua, and he is Jingxuan's younger brother."

Speaking of this, Du Rui sighed, "A few days ago, Jinghua sent a voice message to the leader, saying that according to his investigation - the snow disaster in Taohuaxi Valley was not as serious as the legend said, Taohuaxi Valley just ran out of food, but Those officers and soldiers could have shoveled snow into the village. But they didn’t. They guarded the village, not to deliver food, but to prevent the villagers from going out. Five hundred people in Taohuaxi Valley starved to death like this.”

"What?" Li Jian was covered in cold sweat. ——What kind of behavior is the court doing?Emperor Xuande, what on earth did he take human life for?

"What's even more strange is that Jinghua, who went to Peach Blossom Valley, has no news for the past few days, and I don't know..." Du Rui sighed again, "Anyway, let's go and find out together."

Speaking of this, Du Rui came out with a sword, "Follow me. The closest to Peach Blossom Valley is Liyang. I have a friend there. I told her that we will go to her first."

After Du Rui finished speaking, Qi Xiu came out to sacrifice his sword, but Li Jian didn't make any movement.

Du Rui frowned suspiciously, then stepped forward to look at Li Jian carefully, with a serious expression. "Junior Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Me? Nothing?" Li Jian was surprised.

"Nothing? What about your spiritual consciousness? Call it out, and I'll take a look." Du Rui frowned.

Li Jian thought to himself——I lost all my cultivation and returned to before possessing spiritual consciousness, so the phoenix should have disappeared, right?

Li Jian tried to summon the phoenix, but he didn't expect it to still be there.It's just that its brilliance is gone, and its elegance is hard to reproduce.It stood with its head down on its own shoulder, its whole body was gray, and its eyes had no brilliance.

Du Rui and Qi Xiu had different expressions when they saw each other, but they were all worried.Li Jian, on the other hand, looked indifferent, and smiled while pointing at his spiritual consciousness. "Haha, this is so funny, like a drowned rat."

Qi Xiu: "..."

Du Rui: "..."

After a while, Du Rui learned what happened from Li Jian, and called Qi Xiu aside to talk.

Li Jian looked at those two people and saw them walking under a tree not far away.The moon shines on the treetops, and the moonlight falls on the ground for several miles.And those two people seemed a little serious, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Under the tree, Qi Xiu looked at Du Rui.The moon shadow was mottled by the cracks in the leaves, Du Rui's face was covered by these mottled spots, and his expression was dim.

Du Rui always seemed to be easy to get along with.Like Li Jian, he is always smiling.Although Li Jian really didn't care about many things, behind Du Rui's smile was a little more thought than Li Jian.But now, Du Rui, who has always been amiable, is so serious, it seems that he really thinks the matter is extremely serious.

Qi Xiu couldn't help frowning, and called him in a deep voice: "Master."

Du Rui narrowed his eyes and looked at Qi Xiu seriously. "I know you have a lot of thoughts. After this incident, you probably want to fight, right?"

Unexpectedly, Du Rui knew him so well, Qi Xiu was a little surprised, but he didn't deny it. "Uncle, what do you want to say to me?"

Du Rui asked back, "Do you know how old Li Jian is? Do you know... How long did it take him to cultivate spiritual consciousness?"

"Master...he never mentioned it." Qi Xiu frowned.

After Du Rui heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to be mocking and wry.Then, Du Rui turned his back and looked up at Fang Mingyue. "He didn't mention it, so it's inconvenient for me to point it out. I know that in every disciple's heart, his master is the most powerful in the world. You must think so, right?"

Qi Xiu frowned and didn't answer.

"If Li Jian promises you something, that's his choice, and I have no right to interfere. But I want you to understand one thing—"

Du Rui said so, sighed lightly, and looked at Qi Xiu again. "Qi Xiu, Li Jian wants too little, but you want...too much."

The author has something to say: This chapter spends some space introducing Li Jian's life experience.Li Jian himself didn't realize that he had a sense of distrust towards his mother, and because of this, he generally had no sense of intimacy and trust with women.This is also the reason why he is so handsome and popular with women, but he has never been in a relationship.Well, this is also laying the groundwork for him to be broken in the future~~~ Li Jian and Qi Xiu are both born in bad backgrounds and lack love in childhood. Fortunately, they can love each other in the future O(∩_∩)O .

In addition, I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~~~~!
